- GBP/USD main bear trend is on hold for the fifth consecutive day as GBP/USD is having a strong bullish pullback.
- The GBP/USD strength in the last five days has been extremely strong as the market is breaking above every conceivable trendlines. If bulls can reach 1.2957 key resistance, traders must open up to the possibility that the pullback might be transitioning into a bullish reversal (seen on daily time frame). Bulls are also challenging a descending trendline on the daily time-frame, a break above it would be another clue that the bear trend might start to be at risk.
- A sustained bear breakout below 1.2800 would invalidate the bullish bias.
